1. The Interrogator Sketch

Here's a classic Conway sketch for you! In this sketch, Conway and Harvey Korman are German soldiers who interrogate a prisoner of war, brilliantly played by Lyle Waggoner. By the end of the skit, nobody is able to contain their laughter, making for one memorable moment in the show's history.

2. Airline Security Sketch

In the "Airline Security" sketch, Harvey Korman plays a filmmaker about to board a plane that is going to leave in three minutes. Tim Conway plays a security officer with Speedo Airlines who does not seem to mind taking his time. As Korman's character's frustration mounts, things just keep getting funnier.

3. The Butler and the Maid Sketch

With Tim Conway as the butler and Carol Burnett as the maid, this sketch could not be any funnier. They wait on their employers (played by Harvey Korman and Vicki Lawrence) all day, every day and they are definitely over it! At one point, Conway burps Korman's character and uses a toothpick to get food out from Korman's teeth during dinner. And that is just a smidgen of the hilarity you will find in this sketch.

4. The Intercom Sketch

Who knew that intercoms could make for such a funny sketch?! Conway and Burnett star in this sketch as Mr. Tudball and Mrs. Wiggins. The back-and-forth banter they exchange will have you doubled over on the floor. It is a classic sketch that gets funnier as it goes on.
